Why are non-LSU related football threads not allowed on the Rant?

When it still has some tangible affect on LSU? I don't want the board consumed by non-LSU stuff but I like to know what LSU fans are thinking about the prospects of a team making the NC game and seeing how that may affect LSU regarding recruiting, etc. I just don't understand why it has to be deleted immediately? There are so many fans consuming the board that have nothing to do with LSU that moving the thread to another board, the MSB for instance, accomplishes little but having outside fanbases bring in perspectives that quite frankly I would like to avoid. This never used to be the case but the advent of the SECr has had this consequence on other boards to where I can no longer rely on comprehensive LSU perspective, which I enjoy.

Just wondering if we could loosen the deletions on the rant. Much appreciated if so.
